EkiWalk

Walk real Japanese rail routes with your steps and earn postcards along the way

Overview

Features & Capabilities

Turn your everyday steps into a real Japanese railway journey.

EkiWalk maps your walking onto real train routes across Japan — every step moves you forward along the line, station by station, until you reach the end of the journey.

NINE ROUTES TO WALK
Choose from routes ranging from short city lines to legendary long-distance journeys, including the Chuo Line through Tokyo, the loop of the Yamanote Line, and the Tohoku, Hokkaido, Hokuriku, and Tokaido Shinkansen. Switch routes anytime and start a new journey.

COLLECT STATION POSTCARDS
Unlock a custom train station postcard at every station you reach, each one designed around the real place.

DISCOVER LANDMARKS ALONG THE WAY
Pass tunnels, mountains, prefecture borders, and other waypoints as you travel, each with a bit of context about the location.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
- Automatic step tracking (Health Connect)
- Visual map of your position on the route
- Daily progress at a glance
- Distance in kilometers or miles
- Estimated arrival date based on your walking pace

DISCOVER JAPAN
Learn about the attractions, transfer lines, and points of interest at each station along the way — a virtual tour of Japan's rail network that keeps you moving.

Note: EkiWalk requires Android 14 or later and reads your step count from Health Connect. Your journey stays on your device.

Love this app. No ads and it's fun to walk the various lines I've taken. It would be neat to see the lines on a map.
